POCATELLO, Idaho -- A 420-pound Fort Hall man has been charged with felony robbery, accused of stealing beer from the same local store he stole from in January.
Levi Timbana, 23, is accused of walking into the Cowboy Oil store on Aug. 9 and taking a swing at a clerk who refused to sell him beer after hours. Prosecutors say the clerk held Timbana at bay with a metal pipe until police arrived; Timbana's companion allegedly fled with two cases of beer.
Police said Timbana punched a different clerk at the store during a January beer heist. He spent 43 days in jail in that case.
If convicted of felony robbery, Timbana could be sentenced to a maximum of life in prison. He remains in the Bannock County Jail in lieu of $70,000 bond. Arraignment in District Court is set for Monday.
